The player's objective here is to perform the best they can out of all events played in the medley against the other players. The results of all rounds that are played are tallied up to determine the final ranking for each player in the medley; the better the player does in the events, the better their final ranking will be.
Before each round is a splash screen showing the medley being played, the current round number of the medley, and the event that will take place. The current medley standings are only displayed on the GamePad until the final event is complete. In Medley Mania, a star system is used to determine the winner of a medley.
The way stars are awarded to players at the end of each event is very simple. In this system, all players earn one star, plus one additional star for each opponent they beat within a round in the medley. In other words, stars are awarded as follows:. Before selecting a character, human players can choose whether they can have a "Handicap Bonus"; if enabled, 2 extra stars are given for each top 2 finish, meaning 6 and 5 stars will be awarded to 1st and 2nd, respectively.
Note that even with this option On, there is no bonus for finishing outside the top 2. This option is not available for CPU players; it is locked to Off. In 2-vs-2 medleys, star accumulation for each event varies depending on the multiplayer formation of the event. In a free-for-all, the total amount of stars both players earn from their finish positions are added to the team's score; for 2-vs-2 events, the winning team earns 7 stars and the losing team earns 3 stars.
Extra characters as a teammate or an opponent are chosen at random for events that feature them. However, they do not influence the amount of stars a player or team earns at the end of a round, even if a player wins or loses against them. Stars will be awarded based on only the player's results against the 3 other players participating in the medley.
The amount of stars a player has earned does not determine the seeding in tournament-based events; the seeding for these events will be determined the same way as in Single Match. In addition, when 3 players are playing an event in a medley that is played in a tournament style, the CPU player will earn 1 star for the 4th position, despite not even appearing in the tournament bracket screen.
At the end of a medley, the Award Ceremony scene is shown where characters are ranked based off the amount of stars they earned in each event. The Medley Mania final results screen will show a standings list of all players and the amount of stars earned.
The scoreboard shows the position and how many stars each player has accumulated over the course of the medley, and whether or not they are given a Handicap Bonus. The scoreboard is shown on the GamePad. In the case of 2-vs-2 medleys, the scoreboard will show both teams and the players in each team, the position that team is in, and the total amount of stars the team has earned.
The scoreboard is always shown at the start and end of events, during events that don't use the GamePad, and during the Award Ceremony scene; for events that use the GamePad, the scoreboard will be hidden for the duration of the event until the Final Results screen.
For events that do not use the GamePad, the scoreboard will replace the live TV screen and the track maps for racing events that feature them. The player can create a custom medley by pressing the Edit button, and selecting from 2 to 5 events that the player wants in their medley. Note that the order the events will be played in is based off the order the player has picked the events in the Select Event screen, so will need to be used if the player wants to change the order the events are played in.
Once the player has chosen the events they want in their custom medley, the player presses the Save button to finish. Players can compete against up to 3 other friends or players around the world online. There are always 4 players in a match, if less than 4 players gather up at the conclusion of the entry period, the rest of the field are filled with computer players. Note that when playing with friends, only players that are friends with the user of the first player's console can join.
Competing in online matches raises a player's Strength Points, which helps contribute to their selected country's ranking. However, losing matches has a chance to lower a player's Strength Points. The Strength Points are shown after going past the event results screen, and it will show whether that value has increased or decreased.
The rank for the player's country in each event is shown before the player selects an event to compete in. The player competes on all events in the game, which are split into 6 areas. The player earns points based on how much they win an event by; the higher the margin, the more points earned.
The maximum amount of points possible in an event is 1,; the minimum points the player can win is for most events. Friend AI can also appear, and also are worth bonus points for that area if one should appear. During an area, the points the player earned from events can be seen on the GamePad; once an area is complete, the TV screen will display the amount of points earned in each event.
In each area, the player selects a character from the 4 available from each area. In each event except the last event of each area and in events where a Friend AI takes over, the player competes against a dark form of the player's selected character, in which their name in-game is listed as three question marks.
The last event of an area involves fighting a rival. In all events, the player must simply redo the event if they lose. Records can also be set in events played in Legends Showdown. The characters and events for each area, as well as the rivals for each of the final events, are shown. Note: Magikoopa is called Kamek in the British English version of the game. Note: Records cannot be set on Figure Skating Spectacular in Legends Showdown as this is programmed as a 4 vs 4 event; they can only be set in 1-player mode on Single Match or Medley Mania.
When the player finishes the event in 1st place, they clear the mode and the credits will play. This mode is about playing in Olympic Events with questions thrown in within the events and answering them. The players compete for points by travelling to a number of different venues and answering questions that occur in the middle of events. In most cases, 10 points are awarded to the winner of a minigame.
However, this can change at certain points of a game, such as when it is the final round. It is possible for multiple players to be correct depending on how the minigame was played. There are some minigames that award a different number of points to players in the order they answered or where they finished in:. There are some minigames where all players are always correct, even if they finish with a score of 0 on that minigame.
There are other minigames where points are solely based off how many points they earned in the minigame, and there are also extra chances to earn more points depending on what happens in the game.
In the final round, there is a thing called "Last Chance Points", where players roll a roulette to determine the amount of points the winner will receive. The sum of the displayed numbers in the roulettes will be used to determine the point total the winner will get, which ranges between 8 and The roulette that will be used is determined by the point differential between first and last; if the point differential is 20 or more, the roulette will have numbers between 3 and 7, otherwise, the roulette will instead have numbers between 2 and 6.
If the last minigame can award partial points to players, the amount of points that would be earned normally, multiplied by one-tenth the maximum amount of points possible for that round, would be the amount of points the player would earn for that round; if the result is not a whole number, it is rounded down.
The scoreboard is always shown at the start of a match, during intermissions, for events that don't use the GamePad, and at the end of a match; for events that use the GamePad, the scoreboard will be hidden for the duration of the event until the event ends. The game features 16 Olympic events total. The game has eight total Dream Events. The game features a total of 21 playable characters. All playable characters in this game are identical to those featured in the Wii versions of the previous two installments.
